Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
- 1 pound carrots peeled and sliced
- 3 cups chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup coconut milk reserving some for garnish
- 6 sprigs cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Warm olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and ginger and let them cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Toss in the carrots and pour in the broth. Season with salt and pepper, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup right in the pot until smooth. If you prefer a standing blender, transfer the soup in batches and blend until creamy, keeping the lid slightly cracked so steam can escape safely.
- Stir in the coconut milk, reserving a little to drizzle on top for garnish. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves before serving.
Notes
- Cut the carrots into even slices so they cook at the same pace and blend into a smooth, creamy soup.
- If your chicken broth tastes a little salty, try using half broth and half water to let the carrots’ natural sweetness shine.
- When the soup feels too thick, add more broth instead of water to keep the flavor full and balanced.
- For a little heat, sprinkle in red pepper flakes, cayenne, or finish with a drizzle of chili oil.
- Right before serving, a squeeze of lemon or lime brightens the flavors and keeps the soup tasting fresh.
